Day of Colorado Springs - Day One

In the middle of our trip in Utah we took a trip with Alycia and Lulu to Colorado Springs to visit my brother and his family. We had such a blast and the time went to quickly. I am so glad that they are so close again. Thursday we spent the day driving there. On Friday Emily had a great day planned for us, it was so much fun. We first went to this place called Focus on the Family, it is an indoor play place run buy a religious group that also does a cartoon like Veggie Tales.
Here the kids are posing in the heads of some of the characters.
The whole place was painted in cartoons, it was so much and made you want to be a kid. The highlight of the place was this slide that was three stories high and it looped and looped around, you rode in a sack and had elbow socks :0). The kids went on it a lot, but once was enough for Alycia, Emily and I.
After Focus on the Family we went over to this fountain and played in the water. It was just right. And really cool design, with how the water fell. Look to the right my girls are in the orange suits.

The fountain had a park next to it, we went over and played. They had this thing you sit in, once you start turning it is kind of hard to stop if you are a little person. Karlee is a little dizzy here, but wanted to keep going.

Later after Scotty got home from work we went to Flying W Ranch for dinner. It was a lot fun. It is a place made up like a western town, and then you have dinner like you were cowhands. They had lots of thing to see and do. 
The kids had roping lessons, Matthew and Kelsie getting instruction.

Karlee giving it a whirl, Kelsie is in the background giving it a go.
Here we are enjoying our yummy dinner.
After dinner there was show with cowboys singing it was really fun.
Thank you so much Emily and Scotty.
